Shocking Double Fatality at…
Shocking Double Fatality at Pantyffynnon. I Distressing news .was circulated in the- town of Ammanford and district on Friday morning last, that two men had been killed on the railway' the pre- vious night while proceeding to their work at Pantyffynnon Colliery. Un- happily, the news proved to be too true, the victims being Mr. William Richards, collier, aged 48, who leaves a widow and family of eight children; and Wm. Hopkin Morgan, aged 18, both living at Garnswllt. It appears that the men, who lived at Garnswllt, instead of crossing the river by the foot- 8,. "A -,J.. f.1 h-w-klf t,, the railway line as a short cut. Some hun- dreds of yards below the station at Pantyffynnon, they apparently dis- covered that a goods train on the down line was approaching them, and stepped over into the four-footway of the up line, probably owing to the noise and the windy night failing to hear the ap- proach of the late passenger train froiv Pontardulais to Brynamman, which runs on Thursday nights shortly after ten o'clock. They must have been instantly killed, as they were badly mutilated, and portions of their limbs were severed. The discovery of the terrible acci- dent was not. made until seven hours afterwards, when about five o'clock in the morning Wm. Davies, foreman, Signalman Stear and another went down the line, and found the bodies on the rails. Mr. D. Jones, stationmaster, was sent for, and arrived a few minutes afterwards. The bodies were then conveyed home on stretchers. An enquiry into the circumstances was held at Noddfa Chapel, Garn- swllt, on Monday, by Mr. Beor, deputy coroner for the district, of Swan- sea, when evidence of identification was given by Lewis Rees, collier, Garnswllt. Mr. Wm. Davies, foreman, gave details of his discovery of the bodies, and said both men were badly cut up, the right leg of Richards and the right hand of Morgan being severed. They were found in the four-footway of the up line, and had been knocked down by the 10.5 p.m. passenger train from Pontardulais, as was corroborated by hair having been found on the engine ashpan. At the spot where they were found,, opposite Ynystawelog, a goods train passed the up train about twelve minutes past ten o'clock. Dr. Stewart, who examined the bodies, also gave evidence. A verdict of Accidentally killed" was returned by the jury, of which Mr. John Thomas, Ynystawelog, was foreman. On Tuesday afternoon, the remains of the unfortunate victims were laid to rest at the Noddfa burial-ground. The two men resided within a few hundred yards of one another, and the con- course was the largest ever seen in the district. Work had been suspended at the Pantyffynnon Colliery, where both worked, and the workmen attended in hundreds. The service at the respective houses was taken by the Rev. T. Roberts, pastor of the church,, and other mem- bers who took part were the Rev. D. J. Moses, B.A., Tycroes; Rev. G. Williams, Pontardulais; Rev. Ffrwd- wen Lewis, Velindre; Rev. Rees Lewis, Craigcefnparc; and the Rev. C. Evans, Blaenavon.

Potato Culture at Brynamman…
Potato Culture at Brynamman I Discussion of the potato question and the disease which has done such devastation among the tubers has lately been very rife in Brynamman, where keen interest has been taken in horti- culture, especially of late years. The prevailing crisis has deepened and ex- tended the interest previously existent. Brynamman, Upper and Lower, have been charged with being infested by the wart disease, and, therefore, be- come subservient to the restrictions drafted and published by the authori- ties. An interesting lecture on the subject was recently given by Inspec- tor Wolfe, whose excellent oration was brimful of instruction and teeming with enlightenment. He referred, to the disastrous work of the German pirates, and the menace they were to our coun- try in the way of getting food supplies to our nation. We must do everything possible to make good the loss, and to further the interest of the nation. We find each day that a number of ships have been sunk. This touched every- one personally. We ought to take advantage of our little plots of land, and get as much as possible out of them. We must not keep an inch idle. Each one must act as a little managing director of the supply our gardens afford, and endeavour to make up for what the enemy robs us. Thoroughly cultivate vour soil. he said, in order to get the best results. Do yote to get as much produce to the t house of the nation. Then you kWl. have done an important duty. Therf is another enemy which gives us con siderable trouble horticulturally. That is the wart disease on our potatoes. Lef everyone who owns a garden help to1 stamp this enemy out of existence. The restrictions presented to the nation was a sort of blockade against the devas- tating pest, and we want you to make the blockade as effective as possible' The potato has enormous possibilities, and not until it has become scarce will its real value be known. It was utilised by the Germans to make bread, and petrol was drawn out of it and even beer was made of it. I hop. we shall not be driven to that. Cu 1 vation of flowers must be discardi It was not time for decoration, but) the cultivation of the necessities of Ii > In three months' time possibly th 1 will be a shortage of potatoes n » buttonholes will have no time Jftr T sideration. The submarine dis; a very bad one, but the subterranV disease was the worst. We have see it in some gardens very bad. It was brought there in the seed, and is quite .infectious. It can be carried even by birds from one plot to another; and,, indeed, there is a possibility in its being spread by a garden tool, and affect the soil to a great degree. I have s-pn pe.atoes in a neighbouring village were rcthing but one mass of whereas last year, or the season last, the wart was unknown thea one parish alone 5,000 garderic infected by the complaint.
